It would make sense to set up personal contact options at central points. The only personal information I received from Rotterdam Centraal was from two very friendly employees who had already finished their service.

Absolutely great card, easy to use for public transportation, discount in Museum. I use every type of public transport with this card, except trains and water taxis but they worth. Love Rotterdam ❤️

Sometimes points are missing for the questions that are asked, such as in the Rotterdam city hall, an element is missing. Otherwise a great trip and fun to do

You will be helped very well at Rotterdam Central and this card is super handy because you can go where you want and when.

fabulous ! very documented experience perfectly designed museum fabulous memorial work to see !!!
